CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses

Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Training, Consultancy and Peer Support

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based specialist community and consultancy dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and agency nursing professionals. We combine expert CHC training, tailored clinical consultancy and a thriving peer support network to help nurses deliver outstanding, person-centred care while navigating complex NHS processes with confidence.

Whether you are an agency nurse working in CHC, a nurse looking to move into Continuing Healthcare, or a healthcare organisation seeking specialist CHC expertise, the CHC Nurses Agency Network connects you with training, guidance and like‑minded professionals who truly understand the pressures and responsibilities of modern nursing.

With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we focus on building skills, improving compliance, sharing best practice and providing a safe space to discuss real-world professional issues 24/7 via confidential, invite-only social media groups. Our mission is to elevate standards in CHC while making life easier, safer and more rewarding for agency nurses across the UK.

Specialist Training & Consultancy for CHC and Community Nursing

Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Assessment & Community DoLS Application Training

We deliver specialist CHC training programmes designed for agency nurses, CHC assessors and healthcare staff involved in complex care and funding decisions. Our expert-led sessions cover the full spectrum of NHS Continuing Healthcare, including:

Understanding the national CHC framework and key legal principles
Eligibility criteria, decision-making processes and appeal routes
Comprehensive CHC assessments and evidence gathering
Accurate completion of Decision Support Tools (DSTs)
Care planning linked to CHC outcomes and funding
Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) application processes and documentation

Our CHC courses are delivered by experienced CHC nurses and case managers who work in the field every day. Training is highly practical, based on real case studies, and focused on building your confidence, competence and compliance when managing complex CHC caseloads.

By gaining this advanced CHC knowledge, agency nurses are better equipped to provide person‑centred, legally robust care that aligns with national policy and withstands regulatory and commissioning scrutiny.

Pre‑CQC Readiness, Governance and Quality Improvement Support

For providers and organisations that employ agency CHC nurses, we offer consultancy and pre‑CQC readiness support to strengthen governance, quality and compliance. Our specialist nurses can:

Review policies, procedures and documentation related to CHC and complex care
Assess how agency nurses are inducted, supervised and supported in CHC roles
Identify gaps against CQC key lines of enquiry (KLOEs) and NHS Continuing Healthcare standards
Provide action plans to improve safety, effectiveness and person-centred outcomes
Help shape evidence and assurance ahead of CQC inspections or commissioner reviews

This proactive approach helps organisations demonstrate strong clinical governance around CHC, show that their agency nurses deliver safe, effective care, and reduce the risk of compliance failures during CQC inspection.

Person‑Centred Care, Transitions and Complex Case Support

Safe Transitions of Care for CHC and Complex Patients

Transitions between hospital, home and community settings are high‑risk moments for people eligible for Continuing Healthcare and other complex care packages. Our network supports nurses and providers to manage these transitions safely by:

Developing clear, person‑centred transition plans
Ensuring accurate handover of clinical information and CHC decisions
Coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, families and other agencies
Reducing avoidable readmissions and safeguarding concerns

By sharing best practice and peer experience across our CHC nursing community, we help agency nurses deliver safe, seamless transitions that protect patient safety and continuity of care.

Care & Support Planning for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs

Many CHC packages involve individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and other complex needs. Our community includes nurses experienced in LD care planning, positive behaviour support and rights‑based practice. Through training and peer support we help nurses to:

Create truly person‑centred care and support plans
Promote independence, communication and choice
Work collaboratively with families, advocates and MDTs
Meet legal and ethical duties under the Mental Capacity Act and Human Rights Act

The goal is to ensure people with Learning Disabilities and complex needs receive respectful, personalised and safe support that maximises quality of life and safeguards their rights.

Community, Events and 24/7 Professional Support

CHC Agency Nurses Network Community & Social Media Groups

At the heart of CHC Nurses Agency Network is a strong professional community where nurses support each other both clinically and emotionally. We provide:

Private, invite‑only social media groups for CHC agency nurses
Confidential discussion spaces for professional issues, dilemmas and case queries
Peer‑to‑peer learning from nurses who truly understand CHC
24/7 access to a network of colleagues across the UK

Many members form long‑term friendships, mentors and professional contacts that help them navigate the challenges of agency work, build resilience and feel less isolated in demanding CHC roles.

Regular Events, Workshops and Networking for CHC Nurses

We run regular events to bring our CHC nursing community together, in person and online. These include:

CHC training days and advanced masterclasses
Webinars on regulatory changes, case law and best practice
Networking meet‑ups and informal social events
Case discussion forums and peer supervision‑style sessions

Our events keep agency nurses up to date with Continuing Healthcare developments, while creating a relaxed space to unwind, share experiences and build professional networks that support long‑term career development.

Case Management, Coordination and Professional Development

Case Management and Person‑Centred Coordination

Effective case management is crucial for individuals receiving CHC or living with complex health and social care needs. Through our network and consultancy we support nurses and organisations to:

Coordinate multidisciplinary care safely and efficiently
Develop robust, outcomes‑focused care plans
Use resources wisely while prioritising patient wellbeing
Address legal, ethical and safeguarding responsibilities

This person‑centred approach ensures that care is joined‑up, holistic and responsive, protecting dignity while delivering measurable improvements in quality of life.

We are committed to the career development of CHC agency nurses. Through our network you can:

Access CPD‑accredited CHC training and updates
Learn from experienced CHC practitioners and case managers
